Question Wonderful to see MUDing hasnt Died.

Just found this community. It is wonderful to see that the art of mudding hasn't died. I currently host and run a MUD that has a shockwave graphical user interface built on top of a customized CircleMud3 code base.

wow this is really neat. Ive always wanted to do something like that with circlemud. how long have you been working on it?

This project was started over 10 years ago. Originally developed by 2 other programmers. I was on the project team as a guide. Their lives became too busy to continue the work about 7 years ago and the game went down about 6 years ago. After finally finding and contacting them, they sent me what they had left, and my team I assembled started getting it put back together last January and have had it back up and going for about 8 months. We have approx. 30-40 active players from across the world.

I am impressed. You have a decent user base. I tinkered around with creating a graphical front end. I used Microsoft XNA framework and was able to write a small 2d engine that kind of worked but also needed a lot of work. I figure it is going to be hard to get a decent user base on one that doesn't offer some form of graphical interface. That being said, other than taking advantage of some of the new protocol features, I do not plan on doing a graphical interface for mine. I am going to build it with single player to small multi-player in mind.

Wonderful Work

Thanks! We are starting development on implementing an html5 interface.
